The book delves into the historical significance of the Liberties area in Dublin, tracing its origins back to King Henry II's decree to establish an abbey in memory of Thomas á Becket after his murder. The abbey's founding granted monks tax exemptions, leading to the expansion of the 'Liberty' that encompasses the Liberties today. Author Maurice Curtis examines the rich social and cultural history of this unique neighborhood, highlighting its importance to the people of Dublin and its enduring legacy within the capital.
